"If prosperity is only for the top few percent, then it is not prosperity."
- Sir Thomas Beveridge, 1911

"We've already established that a gun exists to kill people, right? So why do we allow the gun? We don't allow landmines, or tanks, or fighter jets, or nuclear weapons to be owned by private citizens. So why do we allow guns?"
- comedian Jacques Stuart

"Now I'm going to read the law to the defense: 'Any whaler caught within Ruridovan borders... shall receive no less than 1 year and no more than 10 years in a Ruridovan prison, and a fine of up to R950,000.' If you want to go fuck up the ocean back where you live, if you want to go fuck up your country's environment, go ahead! You'll pay the consequences when your environment is collapsing around you. But we're actually interested in keeping things alive."
- anonymous lawyer following the capture and arrest of foreign whalers in Ruridovan waters

"Same as you. Why?"
- Ruridovan diplomat to a Terranovan ambassador, 1994, on a genocide in an outer region of Kirengya

[New Frenco Empire]

"I'm not sure why everybody's bitching about whaling. Hell, civilian vessels aren't even allowed in the ocean because of the whales. Too dangerous. If you want to start hunting these things, maybe the Imperial Navy is a good place for you?"
-Frenkish Man to a confused foreigner on "whaling"

"Is everyone in Bereia a woman, or are they the only ones who can *hic* make quotes?"

-Archduke Georg

Let's all calm down lads. This thread has enough arguments and near-flame wars in it.

"Erm, no, no I can't. Hell, a lot of Gods can't. Allow me to put this in terms the mortal can comprehend. A God, by it's nature, is so powerful and alien to the mortal that the odds of mortals even grasping a fraction of what it means to be a God is almost impossible. You, William Black, can shatter mountains with a gesture and some concentration, I could melt you with my true form's appearance. I would not even need to think, rather it would be a lack of thought killing you. Now, try to imagine a conscious and planned-out attempt to kill you by a God, William Black. Now do you see the size of your task?"

- Intelojic, the God of the heroic virtue of Will, telling off William Black after the latter asked Intelojic if he could help him ascend to Godhood.

[Des-Bal]

-- Senator L. Arnold Furndon.

---

"Ernest Appleby was one of the best spies of his era in U.S. history. With just thirty Dollars and a good horse for resources, he kept our enemies looking over their shoulders like spooked little children for about five years."

-- Reginald Baker, Director of Central Intelligence.

[Estainia]

"You are quite correct, there are indeed Gods, and they are laughing at your hubris and have sent me as their agent of your destruction." - Cornelius Maximilian - 4,368 AD prior to extinguishing the Tarandi Star Empire which claimed superiority over the universe and in reality controlled less than a millionth of the Milky Way

[The Independent Isle of Wight]

"What? You've never seen a reptile in a swimsuit before? Eh, your loss."
~ A female saurian to a foreign human near a beach

[New Frenco Empire]

"What is that thing? A "bathing suit"? Pointless. It's just going to get wet. Just do what I'm doing and just take it all off...Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my chest? Something between my legs, too?"
-Frenkish woman to a confused foreign tourist who attempted to go swimming in a bathing suit, and was unfamiliar with the custom of swimming naked.

[Ruridova]

"More power to the psychotic radicals, genocidal revolutionaries, mentally deranged, serial wrongdoers, homegrown terrorists, and wannabe criminals, I guess? I mean, what better way to blow up a marathon or a train station or a business center or a federal building than the government begging you to do so by allowing you private fighter jets and artillery pieces? Now if I want to shoot a bunch of schoolchildren, I can do it without entering the school! And let's not forget how easier mail bombing campaigns are when you can buy landmines."
- Congressman Fenrisulven Jakten, on countries where military grade weaponry is legal for private ownership

"If we illegalize private tanks, only criminals will have private tanks! If we illegalize giant space death lasers, only criminals will have giant space death lasers! This isn't some ludicrous James Bond movie; I can assure you that both of those are illegal in Ruridova, yet there are remarkably few cases of robbery at tank-barrel-point here."
- Ruridovan citizen

[The Intersphere]

"DO NOT APPROACH SPACE WHALES IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.

"If you can think, you can accomplish anything."

- Gorgashian proverb.

"The honourable man who has cast his honour aside is a dangerous man. This is a man who has clung to his principles like a crutch, fought with them despite how much they may hinder him. Now, the crutches are gone, only the wanting of his enemy's defeat lies within his mind. The honourable man who has cast aside his honour is a man who has endured being crippled no longer crippled. Luckily, they are unlikely to cast aside their honour, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. In short, don't make them throw it away."

- Daniel Keyes, Marshal of National Defense.

"If everyone has a tank, it stops criminals from using them! Of course, it's more than likely to start giant tank battles in your streets...but no! Its our solemn right to own tanks and lasers! Fuck the police!"
-unknown

[Saurisisia]

"Personally, I find sex to be highly overrated in people's obsession with sleeping with others they're infatuated with as soon as possible and laughing at those who remain virgins throughout their terns and early adulthood. I find that it is better to wait for an extensive period of time, either several months or even a year or two, before deciding whether or not it's the right time to engage in intercourse. We Saurisians do value true love and passion rather than sex and sexuality like oh so many foreigners."
~ Richard Fines, lower-level Mesozoican aristocrat and self-proclaimed "true romantic"

[Auzkhia]

"Me, personally, has found sex to be a tool to produce blood heirs. Interestingly enough, I am the first Emperor to adopt an heir."
-Emperor Heinrich

[Viscerium]

"The crackling of bones is truly the sound of angels."
- An Inquisitor

[Lonbonia]

"The deafening silence of the vacuum, the sound of a star being drained to its last and the screams of entire planets as the cold and darkness engulfs them. That is the ambient music of the Void, it is the music of divinity."
